havock, you know how to ghost current window installation (including all software and driver installed) to a cd so that we dont have to reinstall everything if something happens?

Care to post step by step?

Heya Emino sorry for the long wait for reply, ive been away overseas and wasnt able to keep up with the forum.
Basically i use Acronis Disk Image. Its one im using for Vista since Norton Ghost does not work for Vista. Acronis works for XP too. Basically the instructions and the read out can be found on the site itself. Pretty simple and quick.

As long as its not the 701 Surf then youre good. Seeing that it has 8gb built in im sure youll be fine. Any run of the mill DDR2 ram will work the upgrade. Why not 701 Surf. Well the older Asus EEEPC's models that ran 4gb SSD had their Ram soldered in. Yeah think of which idiot designed that.

But then again, EEEPC's were designed earlier to only run Linux and for the kids so they never thought people would bother with XP in it anyway. That was, till when people discovered how awesome light and useful it was

eeePC success story did make other manufacturer to follow...

I'm about to buy S101H izit good???

If you were to ask me i'd say no. As in value for money you dont get much out of it. Consider instead the 1002HA.
Difference between the 2 ? Almost neglible. Let me go through them with you for you. Some of these taken of a review site.

Thinness : Both 1002Ha and S101H sports the same slim profile with perhaps the S101H winning by a teeny tiny bit. Yes teeny tiny. Not like how much difference a S101H vs a 1001HA is but teeny tiny.


Keyboard Spacing : S101H has chiclet keyboards, those keyboard with spaces in them like Vaio and Macs. Both netbooks have identical keyboard layouts with that pesky inconvenient shift key that some touch typists hate. The 1002HA has the same keyboard as on the 1000H while the S101H has a keyboard which feels slightly more mushy and the keys are darker and coated with some glittery substance.

Screen Estate :



The 1002HA lid is thicker than S101H but the 1002HA screen has a noticeably better vertical viewing angle with colors not washing out when not viewing at an optimal angle.

Webcam : The 1002HA has the higher 1.3 megapixel webcam. I don’t notice much of a difference between the 0.3MP and 1.3MP webcams anyway but I don’t use it often.

Performance:
They work the same.



In short if youre looking for style and have the cash to pay run to the S101. I wouldnt recommend it though, right now, there is still no 3rd party batteries available for it in case you wanna extend the battery life. You want value ? Go for the 1002HA, yes its keys are closer apart and its teenier tinier thicker than the S101H but thats about it. Everything else runs to it. Almost same weight ie 1182g for the S101 vs 1265g for the 1002HA, better webcam, even better Battery life, better viewing angle ah well..my opinion is better.

Its not as charming as the S101H with its colours, but Champange is the only extra colour the S101H has an advantage over the 1002HA, the other two colours in S101H the 1002HA also has. Heck, if someone brought out from afar a 1002HA i wouldnt know the difference between that and the S101H.

That though is only my opinion, other folks may have better ideas though

or you can get 1000he at RM 1699, s101 is RM 1999.

btw i'm 1002ha user, with weight only 1.2kg with battery and can last around 3.5 to 4 hour is enough for me. like it very much, i got mine rm1799

Anyone knows where to get the 1000HE with the N280 processor? I have asked Asus at Mid Valley but they only have the N270. Have yet to visit Lowyat though but any help here may be appreciated so I can just zoom to the shop straight. Thanks.

Heya Phoenix,
Youll be able to find plenty of it on the 4th floor Sunway Pyramid, in fact i counted 12 on display just now. Priced at RM1699. Almost all the shops that carries Asus laptops are carrying it :

Thanks havocx. Since it's Labaour Day today, I dragged myself out of bed and managed to find a few units selling a Lowyat and at attractive price of RM1599 running on the N280. I didn't buy it though. Probably next week. WOOT!

RM1599 ? Hey thats cool. About RM100 lower than recommended retail. You sure you saw it at that price ? Seems like a good buy

running 1GB at eeePC now....should I upgrade it to 2GB...major different?

Depends on what you do. If you run a lot of Graphic Intensive Programs or Memory Hoggers such as doing photo editing or doing a lot of calculations on your machine then yes there is a difference. Memory Hoggers are applications that run on a whole Suite of things like Norton Suite, Indexing Software or if youre someone who likes to use Windows Media Player instead of lighter media players like VLC, then yes.

If not just leave it at 512mb or 1gb and you wont feel the difference. Only time i find that my 2GB plays a major role is when im editing movies on the machine. Other than that all my other apps runs on lower resources.

havocx: You bet that's the price I saw, RM1,599! Nothing wrong with my eyes. Haha... In fact, the brochure is right in front of me right now. Hehe... Go Go Go...

Then it would be RM 1599 without Ram upgrade.

Regarding this 1000HE (9.5 Hour Battery Life). How much currently? any one manage to test out the actual battery life during normal usage?

normal use maybe around 7 hours

I just bought the 1000HE and I can confirm it is RM1599. Battery is very good, with wifi on and screen at normal brightness, I can get over 7 hours.

Once you use this netbook and see the long battery life, you realise that all other netbooks are not worth it.

Only other machine worth it in terms of battery life is the Samsung NC10 and N110, both also, not in Malaysia.

wifi on, brightness at 40%, moderate work - 8hr 20min

wifi on, brightness 100%, moderate work -6 hr 23min

both in power saving mode feature.

Cheers
